AceShowbiz - Coldplay's Chris Martin had a close call during the band's final show at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on November 3. Martin, 47, was sharing anecdotes with the crowd when he accidentally fell through an open trap door.
Videos circulating on social media show Martin walking backwards, engaging with the audience, before toppling backward into the trap door. The crowd gasped in shock as crew members rushed to assist him.
"That's not planned!" Martin jokingly exclaimed after regaining his footing. "Holy s***, that was nearly a YouTube moment!"
The incident occurred during the final show of Coldplay's Australian leg of their ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour, which began in March 2022 and is scheduled to conclude in September 2025 with a 10-day residency at London's Wembley Stadium.
The tour has been marked by numerous viral moments, including surprise guest performances by Maggie Rogers, Shawn Mendes, Michael J. Fox, and others. This summer, Martin performed an impromptu set with collaborators of his "WE PRAY" project on Grafton Street in Dublin.
In related news, Martin has revealed that Coldplay plans to limit their album releases to 12 "proper albums." "If we do something together after that, it'll be something different," he explained.
Despite the upcoming retirement plans, Coldplay continues to release new music. In June, they released their 10th studio album, "Moon Music," featuring the single "feelslikeimfallinginlove."
